Description

The thirty-two century-old hotels featured in this book have defied the passage of time for a variety of reasons, many explicable, some beyond explanation, all miraculous.

For eighteen of them, it was the fortuitous creation of the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission in 1965.

The landmarks law was enacted in response to the demolition of the iconic Pennsylvania Station in 1963.

After 139 years, the following evaluation is still true: "New York is the paradise of hotels.

In no other city do they flourish in such numbers, and nowhere else do they attain such a degree of excellence.

The hotels of New York naturally take the lead of all others in America, and are regarded by all who have visited them as models of their kind." James D.

McCabe, Jr. Lights and Shadows of New York, 1872
